The extensive network of tunnels make hitching out of the city close to impossible. The motorways almost completely go through the city, so it's quite hard to find an exit point. If you don't find it right inside the city, you'll have to walk a lot North, because of the long tunnels and the strange shape of the city.
You may try to get a ride from the city centre. Behind the central bus station there is the Goods Terminal of Schenker, a big freight company. There is also a bigger truck parking spot where trucks stay overnight. You can ask drivers in the evening when/where they are going and ask them for a lift in the morning. You could also try your chance at traffic lights and hopefully succeed, but nobody reading or writing this ever has! There is a big junction close to the central lake (Byparken Smalungeren) [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=bergen,+norway&sll=40.956468,-74.058688&sspn=1.088945,2.469177&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bergen+railway+station,+Hordaland,+Norway&ll=60.383963,5.336051&spn=0.008409,0.020771&t=h&z=16 where the E16, E39 and 555 meet], which is the main exit of Bergen, but the place is not pleasant to hitch from.
If you are willing to walk, or are somehow in the northern part, try Sandviksveien junction with Sjøgaten. It is about 1.5 km north from Central Bay (Vagen).
